seven day ruler

"Well! Then let's talk about the "Top Ten Newcomers". The Top Ten Newcomers are actually what the Chosen Ones call them in private, and they are not officially recognized like the "Ten Kings."

"But it's not something that anyone can be. It takes a series of competitions to get the title. Every year in mid-March, a super arena will be set up in the downtown square, and everyone who comes to the Holy Land will not spend more than one day. The chosen ones of the year can participate, but each person has only one chance to challenge. The loser will be eliminated directly, and the winner will continue to compete the next day until the system judges the final ten winners. In addition to getting a house In addition, you can choose an item from a bunch of rewards listed in the system, it can be a magic weapon, it can be a pet egg, or it can be a martial arts cheat..."

"Wow... so, don't we have to send it out!" A young man with a short hair cut his eyes, as if he had become one of the "Top Ten Newcomers" at this moment.

"Hehe, your idea is beautiful! Do you know how many newcomers join this holy land every year? Do you know how many chosen ones die every day?" When the bearded old man who had never been upright asked this question, he rarely showed seriousness look.

"1000 million! And this is a conservative estimate. Another calculation is to maintain the balance of the number of people in this holy place. Every day, nearly 3 people die in missions or duels."

"And... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Talking too much will not do anything to you newcomers, but will increase your burden."

"Participate in the rookie competition as much as you can. Anyway, you can't die. It will be of great benefit to you!" After leaving this sentence, the bearded old man walked directly into the crowd and disappeared In the sight of everyone.

Zhao Yi has been following the nagging old man until he entered a tavern before hesitating to follow.

Zhao Yi always thought that this holy place existed like a military camp, but he didn't expect that there were also consumption places like taverns here.

The tavern was not what Zhao Yi thought. There were neither showgirls nor fancy spotlights. Except for a counter, there were only a few wooden tables and wooden stools left in the tavern, which was simple and unsophisticated.

As soon as Zhao Yi entered the tavern, he saw "Wai Shi Tong" sitting alone in a corner. At the moment, he was drinking a jug of wine and eating two dishes of appetizers, feeling very uncomfortable.

Zhao Yi walked straight to Handler and sat on another empty wooden bench opposite him.

"Young man, you followed me all the way. You must have something important to consult, right? Come on, come on, let's talk about it after drinking this glass of wine first."

As if he only knew that Zhao Yi was coming, the white bearded old man directly picked up another empty glass on the table, poured a glass of white wine and placed it in front of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi wanted to say that drinking was a mistake, and he didn't drink. It can be seen that the old man with white beard looks like he can't talk if he doesn't drink. Zhao Yi has no choice but to take a drink and drink it down.

As soon as the cold liquid entered his stomach, Zhao Yi felt that the wine flowed into his dry heart like nectar and jade dew, and the pores of his whole body relaxed, and his body, which had not sweated for a long time after the system was strengthened, expelled a trace of sweat .

Zhao Yi thought about it for a while before opening his eyes, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of wine is this, and why is it so delicious?"

"Taibai Immortal Wine! It's delicious! If it's delicious, go buy a jug yourself, just to chat with an old man like me. Its benefits are more than that!" The white-bearded old man hugged his own jug, pretending to be mysterious. .

"Stingy! Buy it yourself, buy it yourself."

After a while, Zhao Yi walked back with two jugs of wine in his arms.I can't help but feel bad, these two jugs of wine cost him four hundred holy coins, which is as much as the value of the bungalow in the western suburbs.But Zhao Yi took a sip of the wine, and his addiction to alcohol was aroused, and he couldn't do without it.

"Here... this jug is for you!" Zhao Yi didn't feel much reluctance, and directly handed the jug to the white-bearded old man.

"Really? Then I won't be polite! I didn't expect you to be a local tyrant. Not bad, not bad, you are my friend."

The white-bearded old man snatched the flagon from Zhao Yi, as if he was afraid that Zhao Yi would regret it.

"Come, come! Drink! My name is Bai Juyi, you can call me Bai Lao. What's your name?" The white-bearded old man asked Zhao Yi beside him while urging him to drink.

"Puff...cough cough...what's your name?" Zhao Yi just spit out the drink before he could swallow it.

"Bai Juyi!" The old man with white beard dipped his finger in the drink that Zhao Yi spouted and wrote on the table.

"Oh, my name is Zhao Yi, you can just call me Xiao Yi." Zhao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have the same name as the great poet on earth, otherwise Zhao Yi was afraid that he would suddenly become popular when he drank too much. It's embarrassing.He can only drink, but can't write poetry.

After drinking for three rounds, the two of them boasted for a while. Anyway, the other party has never been to his hometown, so he is not afraid of revealing his secrets.

"Well, Bai Lao, I'm asking you something, do you know where I can get the "Dragon Snake Grass"?" Zhao Yi didn't remember his purpose for coming until he was almost finished drinking.It's really a mistake to drink, but this wine is too good to drink.

"Dragon snake grass? If I remember correctly, the reward on the hundredth floor of Tongtian Tower is dragon snake grass. This grass is also a relatively precious medicinal material. After all, it grows near the dragon's lair. Ordinary people really mess with it." No. However, dragon snake grass is generally used to make "Hehuan San", why do you want this grass? Could it be..."

Bai Lao looked at Zhao Yi with a wretched expression, I understand your thoughts.

"It's not what you think, I have other uses!" Seeing that Bai Lao had misunderstood him, Zhao Yi quickly explained.

"I understand, I understand. Everyone is an adult. I still understand this point of view. Needless to say, it is understandable for young people to have some enthusiasm. However, you have to hurry up to participate in the Tongtian Tower competition. The hundred-story reward If I remember correctly, there are only the top ten, and none of the later ones."

"I..." Zhao Yi realized that he shouldn't have explained at all. The more he explained, the old man with the white beard smiled more obscenely, making it seem like he was really trying to make an aphrodisiac.

After adding Bai Lao's microcomputer number, Zhao Yi ended some inappropriate conversations and returned to Earth.

As soon as Zhao Yi returned to Earth, he heard a system notification sound in his head: "Personal system notification: You have drunk Taibai Immortal Wine, and your physical strength will be permanently increased by 1%. Repeating it will be invalid."

Zhao Yi was startled, and then he understood that Bai Lao's mysterious expression saying that wine was good for him was originally referring to this.However, this benefit is indeed worth it!

After seeing that it was almost time to make an appointment with Shen Qingmo, Zhao Yi tidied up his clothes and went upstairs to the 22nd floor.

Before Zhao Yi reached the door of Shen Qingmo's office, he heard a fierce quarrel in her office, and his assistant Zhou Yan was quietly hiding at the door to eavesdrop.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit, Assistant Zhou. Tell me, what's wrong with Mr. Shen, why are you so angry?" Zhao Yi said the first sentence solemnly, and instantly turned into a gossip face .

"What else? Boss Shen's ex-husband, that bastard, came to Boss Shen a few years later and wanted to get back together. He came here several times, but Boss Shen refused to agree, so he threatened Boss Shen with memorial custody."

Zhou Yan said indignantly, obviously she knew more about Shen Qingmo's ex-husband, her face was full of anger.
